The World Championships for the F-16 will be held in the United States for the first time in 2014 at Sail Newport in Rhode Island. Racing days will be June 23 - 29, with measurement and practice the two days prior. Event Chairman is Richard Feeny. He can be reached at richard(dot)feeny(at)gmail(dot)com

There will not be a US Championships separate from the Worlds in 2014.

Both the International Class President,Thomas Koenig, and the International Class Secretary, Antoine Meunier, will be in attendance. I will be relying on them to provide the latest class rules. Once the event website is up, I envision that they will also be posted there. Please advise if there is something in particular that you are unclear or concerned about Thx.

A current rule set would be helpful, I don't think there is one available online.

Newport is probably my favorite place to sail in the country. Should get a nice southerly seabreeze each day, and Sail Newport will be fantastic hosts. As Sam said, start looking for housing early as Newport gets busy in the summer. One of the guys in our fleet has a beach house nearby which might be available to rent- I can check with him.

Definitely considering chartering a boat for this one- although the dates are really close to the F18 worlds which is a bummer.
